Room £805 per month 2 mins from overground!

Heyy! We’re looking for a new housemate to round out our flat share in Homerton!

The room:

A furnished double with a built-in wardrobe, for single occupancy, available from 20 August 2026 for £805 per month. The landlord is flexible if you’re looking for a later move-in date.

Council tax is roughly £37pp per month and paid alongside the rent. We also pay for WiFi and energy, while the landlord covers water. It usually comes to around £890 all-in.

The deposit is two weeks’ rent.

Tenancy & practical bits:

We each rent our rooms individually and directly from the landlord on a rolling assured periodic tenancy, with no fixed end date. We’re the existing tenants advertising the room, not the landlord, and we aren’t liable for empty rooms.

Benefits are accepted, subject to the same affordability checks as any other applicant.

No formal references have previously been required by the landlord. The usual right-to-rent check will be required.

Pet requests would need to be discussed with the landlord and considered on a case-by-case basis. There are currently no pets in the flat.

The room is for single occupancy, so unfortunately we can’t consider couples.

The flat:

It’s a bit of a find! What the bedrooms might lack slightly in size, the rest of the flat definitely makes up for.

The flat is a duplex with a really generous living room, two sofas and a small four-seater dining table.

The kitchen is a spacious galley with enough room for 2–3 people to cook at the same time. We’ve tested it!

There’s a washing machine but no dryer. Everyone has their own fridge shelf, freezer drawer and kitchen cupboard, as well as plenty of shared space.

The bathroom and toilet are separate and upstairs, which helps avoid clashes in the morning.

We also have a recently refurbished balcony with plants and seating. There’s space for bikes too, Corey and I currently keep ours out there.

There are three built-in wardrobes in the upstairs hallway and loads of additional storage under the stairs.

Access:

The flat is on the second floor of a council block with no lift and is reached via two sets of narrow external stairs. There’s a phone-entry system at the entrance with fob access.

The flat itself is a duplex. The kitchen and living room are on the lower floor, while the bedroom, bathroom and separate toilet are upstairs via an internal staircase.

The balcony is accessed directly from the living room, with a step up and down over the threshold, so there is no level access.

There are no accessibility adaptations that we’re aware of.

The area:

We’re 2 mins walking (or 1 min running!) from Homerton Overground, which gets you to Stratford or Highbury & Islington in under 15 mins.

We’re also a short walk from Victoria Park and Hackney Marshes, with Chatsworth Road, Hackney Wick and plenty of good pubs, cafés and shops nearby.

About us:

Corey, 32, works in marketing, usually in the office 2–3 days a week and WFH Monday & Friday. Loves a fancy dinner (who doesn’t), a cocktail and getting out on his bike.

Luke, 30, works as a project manager for the council, with Wed & Fri WFH. Loves hosting dinner parties, going to gigs and a swim at the local lido!

Jack, 29, works in the Civil Service and is currently in the office five days a week. Big horror film fan, loves a gig and playing Fortnite with friends!

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone mature, clean and respectful. It’s not a big party flat (but we are social!) and we don’t smoke. We like the flat to feel like a home: cooking, watching TV and having friends over, while equally being happy doing our own thing and having some downtime.

If you’re interested, send us a message and tell us a bit about yourself. We’re holding viewings now 🙂
